Reacción a "Reactions to artificial intelligence linguistic analysis showing that the term 'people' is biased towards 'men'"

This is an interesting article that investigates the concept of "people"/persona from a gender perspective by analysing billions of words from a corpus of internet data. The article analyses the similarity of the terms used in the corpus when writing about people, men and women. It finds a greater similarity between terms used to refer to people/person and terms used to refer to men than to refer to women. From this analysis, they conclude that there is a gender bias in the concept "people"/person, prioritising men over women.

Concepts describing collective terms (such as people) are not simply a reflection of a possible underlying bias, but also act as a reinforcement of society's perception of men and women. Therefore, the gender bias found in such an important collective term could have profound implications for our society.
